Every Move You Make (The Rugby Lovers)

by Sloan Spencer

“Robyn, take a deep breath.” I do. “I would never expect you, an Olympic athlete, to order a damn salad for dinner. If your date thinks you should be eating something smaller, then they’re a trash human, got it? And it wouldn’t matter if you were an athlete or a librarian, lean or fat, you should order what you want.”

“Do not change yourself. A good partner is someone who wants you to feel full, happy, and desired.”

This girl lets it all go. She sheds every bad thought she’s ever had and flings it across the dance floor.

Isaiah’s eyes find mine, and if I could bottle this moment and save it forever, I would. Whenever I'd need a little pick-me-up, I’d open it and take a long whiff. I’d dab the memory behind my ears and on my wrists and remember the way his rare smile heals something in my soul.
